[Bug 1612728] Re: firefox : missing saved logins and passwords after upgrade to firefox 48 (Linux Mint)

[Igor]

** Description changed:

  Package: firefox
  Version: 48.0+linuxmint2+rosa
  Architecture: amd64
  Build ID:  20160811171047
  Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
- In firefox 47 I used to save logins and password and used master password.
+ In firefox 47 I used to save logins and password and used master password.  FF was configured in FIPS mode.
  After upgrade to firefox 48 list of saved logins became empty and "use master password" became unchecked.
  
  Actual results:
  All saved logins and passwords disappeared. Go to  about:preferences#security, "Logins" section, "remember logins" box is checked but the list of saved logins is empty. Also, the "use master password" box is unchecked.
  
  When I start firefox in safe mode --- all login and passwords are in
  place. I do use master password---it is working as expected in safe
  mode.
  
  When I start firefox with all addons disabled --- password and logins
  are still missing.
  
  Same problem exists if I download and manually install firefox dpkg from Ubuntu repository:
  http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_48.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
  
  Also, saved logins and passwords work properly when I use latest binary
  firefox 48 (build id 20160726073904) x86_64 from the Mozilla site.
  
- 
  Expected results:
  
  Saved passwords and logins shouldn't disapear
